The New Hampshire minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. The New Hampshire minimum wage is automatically replaced with the Federal minimum wage rate if it is higher than the State minimum. Every employer of employees must keep a true and accurate record of the hours worked daily by each, wages paid to each, and classification of employment when necessary. Tipped employees of a restaurant, hotel, motel, inn or cabin, who customarily and regularly receive more than $30 a month in tips directly from the customers will receive a base rate from the employer of not less 45 percent of the applicable minimum wage.*
Youth Law: No youth under the age of 16 can be employed or permitted to work without first obtaining a New Hampshire Youth Employment Certificate except from his/her parents, grandparents, guardian, or at work defined as casual or farm labor. Certificates must be obtained by an employer within 3 business days of the first day of employment. Copies of certificates must be kept on file by all employers of youths. An employer must not employ a youth 16 or 17 years of age, unless the employer obtains and maintains on file a signed written document from the youth's parent or legal guardian permitting the youth's employment. The parental permission must be on file at the establishment’s worksite prior to the first day of employment. Written parental permission is not needed for any 16 or 17 year old youth who has graduated from high school or obtained a general equivalency diploma.*
